For those of us old enough to remember , this sounds and looks very much like the damage control media show put up by the Soviets in 1983 after the shoot down of KAL007 .
There it t took 10 years and a change of Regime in Moscow to get the truth.(or closer to the truth). Old habbits are hard to die it seems .
Back on MH17, I have read that the Dutch prosecutors have collected about 100 names of persons possibly involved in the missile launch. If and when those names will be released, the game will change .People did not carry iPhones with them in 1983..
